“As a dedicated hardware recorder to capture a large number of channels in a live event, the BlackBox is a very attractive solution.  It is an easy to use, well focused design, with excellent sound quality, in a very compact space.”

JoeCo’s ground-breaking BlackBox recorder gets a great review in the January issue of Sound On Sound magazine.  Designed to attach to the inserts of any live mixing console, the JoeCo BlackBox recorder captures up to 24 tracks of live audio at 24 Bit / 96kHz, without the need to have a computer at the performance. Audio is recorded in industry-standard Broadcast WAV format onto a regular USB2, FAT32 formatted drive.

“The replay facility is very handy, allowing the band to come out front to hear what the show actually sounds like, for example, or to enable the FOH engineer to fine-tune the rig without making the band having to sound check endlessly”.

“The machine’s operation is brilliantly intuitive and I didn’t need to read the manual at all: everything is exactly where you’d expect to find it, and it all works exactly the way you’d think it should…It’s quick simple and obvious - which is exactly what’s needed in a busy live-sound situation”.

“In terms of sound quality, I couldn’t fault the BlackBox at all.  It sounds very quiet and clean, and does just what it says on the box”.

“…direct comparison with existing hard disk recorders is unfair.  Nothing else on the market currently matches the specific functionality and ease of use of the BlackBox for live sound recording applications”.
